1916 arrived at a glance, and now Romania still has snowy weather, but the people still need to travel for their livelihoods.
Galati, a city located between the estuary of the Prut River and the Siret River, is also the last Romanian city where the Danube River enters the estuary swamp. It was an important port of the Roman Empire in ancient times, and it gradually developed by exporting grain and wood.
In this city, people who need work get up before dawn. Among them, Butovino also left the warm bed and got up early.
"Butovino, I got up so early. If you don't accompany your wife and children to take a rest, today is Sunday."
The landlord Dodemette looked at Butovino who was getting up early with a tired face, and asked in surprise.
Butovino washed his face in the cold water, sobered himself up, and said to the landlord with a smile. "Today I still need to go out and find a part-time job. I hope my luck will be better."
After speaking, Butovino turned his head and glanced at his dark room, as if he could clearly see his sleeping wife and children, a happy smile appeared on his face.
The landlord Dodemeet's reaction to Butovino was also not surprising, and he also came here. However, his son went to university in Bucharest. During the winter vacation at school some time ago, his son came back and preached that the kingdom needs to protect all Romanians and that they should not be oppressed abroad. As a member of the Romanian kingdom, he should also be A share of strength.
So I plan to go to the nearest Bessarabia area to promote this idea to the oppressed Romanians. This made the landlord so angry that he screamed at his son. But in the end it is a young man, how can I make Lao Tzu slander his ideals, so the two father and son quarreled, and no one would agree with you. But after all, the landlord mastered the financial power of his son, so the passionate young man didn't go anywhere, and was locked in the house during the winter vacation.
It was not until recently that school was about to be released by Dodmet, and he was sent to the school in person. No, the landlord, Mr. Dodemeet, came back from the train and met Butovino, and he said hello, ready to go back to the house to sleep, and ease the hardship of traveling.
Butovino was about to go back to the house to pick up a coat after washing, but when he was holding the coat lightly, his wife Uzdona suddenly spoke up. "Dono, don't you take a break today? You are so tired in the lumber mill, and finally you have to go out to find work after a holiday."
Hearing his wife's voice, Butovino said softly. "You are awake."
"Yeah, I woke up when you chatted with the landlord."
"You also know that now we have a lot of family members. If you don't work hard to earn money, you can't support the little guy at home. Besides, you have only finished the operation, and I also need to earn some money to get back medical expenses.
Butovino smiled happily when talking about the little guy. He and his wife raised three children. Among them, the newly-born child was sent to the hospital for a cesarean section because of his wife’s dystocia, so that the mother and child could be safe. However, this operation consumed half of the family's savings, so Butovino planned to find a part-time job during vacation time.
"It really blames me, if it weren't for..."
Butovino stepped forward and stopped his wife's words with his hand, he said. "It's no fault of anyone, it's God's will. Besides, we just lost a sum of money. When we recover, we can easily earn it back. Crouch and Kristina (eldest son and second daughter) Waiting for us to go back to our hometown to see them."
Butovino's words made his wife smile happily, she put up a pillow and said to her husband. "I don’t have enough milk and water, so I need to buy some milk powder for my child."
Hearing his wife's words, Butovino felt a little in his heart, but still said without changing his face. "I will bring a can with me when I come back from work today."
After comforting his wife, Butovino walked out of the room and sighed secretly. The price of a can of milk powder is not cheap now. General milk powder costs 9 lei per can, and good milk powder can reach 2,30 lei. When my eldest son was born a few years ago, the price was only 3.5 lei a can, especially in the past two years, the price of baby products has risen rapidly, as if every household was giving birth.
Butovino just complained, and his life still satisfies him. It only takes him and his wife to work to feed a family of five and subsidize their elderly parents who still work at home. And you can keep some savings, and you can buy a house in the city and have your own nest in the future.
In Butovino’s thirty years of cognition, there is no better life than now. You must know that when he was a child, his parents had to take him and his sister to work in his hometown. They often went hungry because of food shortages. Now as long as you work hard, you can feed your family and let your children go to school. In Butovino's heart, this is what the old priest in the village called heaven, a world without hunger.
Seeing that the sky started to light up, Butovino walked out of his rented house and walked through an alley to the street. There is a bus stop two hundred meters to the left of the alley, where you only need 5-20 barni (100 barni = 1 lei) to sit where you want to go. It just so happened that Butovino was going to do odd jobs, right next to one of the platforms. Butovino hurried to the bus stop and waited for the bus.
Before Butovino waited long, the bus came He squeezed into the bus with the crowd, and when he walked to the conductor, the obese conductor looked at each person with sharp eyes. A passenger in the car. Butovino knew what the conductor meant, so he quickly handed her the 15 barneys he had prepared. And quickly state your destination.
"I got off at the National First Hospital stop."
Twenty minutes later, Butovino stood on the bus platform of the First National Hospital. He wiped his sweaty forehead and strode towards Galati National First Hospital. This part-time job was introduced by a friend in his hometown to help the hospital build a new medical building.
The National First Hospital has always been the best hospital in Galati County. Every time the government has any health funds, it will first give it to the National First Hospital. So much so that the director of the National Second Hospital scolded at the health department meeting that the National Second Hospital was not under the jurisdiction of Galati. It's useless to just scold it. The funds that should be given to the National First Hospital are still a lot, and the rest is allocated to the National Second Hospital.
Now Butovino is going to work here for a day to earn some living expenses to subsidize the family's expenses. ()
